Chapter 12: A Sister's Visit
After saying this, Wang also realized that something was wrong, so he covered his veil and sat on the edge of the bed with his thoughts, crying.
She can accompany her husband to guard the ancestral house together when the city is ruined, and she is not afraid of life and death, because this is the education of the Fuyang Wang family that she has received since she was born, and this is the duty of a woman.
But if she wants her to send the daughter who was pregnant in her womb for ten months and desperately gave birth to a murderous man, she really can't do it.
Gu Fengmao listened to his wife's crying, and became more and more sad, he stood up and sat down, always uneasy, and finally sighed hatefully, sat down on the Taishi chair, put one hand on his forehead, and had a headache.
Lima Wang cried for a long time, gradually calmed down, and after regaining his senses, he looked at the carvings on the bed frame with a stupid look and lost his mind for a while.
Looking at her husband with a sad face outside, Wang smiled bitterly, the husband and wife have lived together for so long, how could she not know what kind of person her husband is.
He planted flowers and grass a few days ago, and seemed to have given up everything and was indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, he was just unable to become a leader because of no way.
In fact, the husband is also unwilling, unwilling to let the Gu family fade out of the officialdom from his generation, reduced to a rich man, unwilling to withdraw from the power center of Jiankang without any achievements, and now there is an opportunity in front of him, the new emperor promises that if Sister Shu successfully marries the prince, Gu Fengmao can restore the position of prime minister, and even if the operation is done properly, it is not without the opportunity to be the queen of the world.
After thinking about it, the Wang family also understands that the world is decided, the overall situation has been decided, the Helian clan has reached the top as the king, and the world respects it, even if it is from a humble background, what is the matter, it is also the emperor of the entire Great Qi!
Under the whole world, all are royal land, and within the four seas, all are royal ministers, how could the Wang family not understand how to choose, but they are just unwilling......
Her daughter is the national color and Tianxiang, the goddess of the nine heavens, she has been pampered from childhood to adulthood, if the northern country is not destroyed, with the Gu family's life and status, and her daughter's reputation, it is appropriate to be a queen.
If Sister Shu is made the crown princess, the Wang family can barely let go, but it is a prince's side concubine, what is the side concubine, that is a concubine!
Although the Wang family was a hundred unwilling in his heart, the Wang family knew that this was the only chance for the Gu family to turn over.
Just like the ancestors of the Gu family a hundred years ago, at that time, when the northern kingdom was first established, the Gu family also gave a daughter to the northern emperor as a concubine, which preserved the inheritance of the Gu family and continued the century-old wealth of the Gu family.
Walking out of the room, Wang sat beside Gu Fengmao gently, and said softly: "Master, you have to promise me, even if Sister Shu is just a side concubine, you can't wronged Sister Shu in the dowry." ”
After Wang finished speaking, he closed his eyes as if he had completed some life's work.
Gu Fengmao raised his head, looked at Wang's tearful face, and sighed: "Sister Fu, don't worry, even if I don't want this old face, I won't let Sister Shu suffer the slightest grievance!" ”
In this way, after discussing with Gu Fengmao and his wife overnight, they decided to agree to Emperor Yongyuan's request and marry Gu Nianshu, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, to the crown prince Helian Hongyi as a side concubine.
On the second day after Gu Fengmao agreed, he received an edict from the emperor to reinstate the official, and so far, the Gu family has become the noble family above 10,000 people and under one person.
Knowing the news that Gu Nianshu was going to be the side concubine of the crown princess, everyone in the entire Gu Mansion was shocked, and then they suddenly came over, and then the mansion was busy up and down.
Cuiwei Courtyard has been cleaned for four or five days in a row, but Duan's always feels that there is still a place that has not been cleaned.
In the past few days, not only has Zhang's mother and the big girl in the courtyard been busy, but even the young lady Gu Banqin has been assigned a lot of tasks by Duan's family, picking up some flowers and grass in the yard.
Now Gu Banqin is fifteen years old, and in this era, fourteen years old is already considered to have stepped into the threshold of adulthood.
Gu Banqin has not changed much in the past five years, and there is still not much difference from the appearance when she was a child, but a pair of eyes are becoming more and more agile, as if she can speak.
Such a look followed Duan's and inherited her good looks.
But Duan's was very worried, saying that Gu Banqin was too charming, and she didn't look as dignified as other ladies in the Gu family, in this regard, Gu Banqin commented, I look like an aunt, saying that I am too charming, doesn't it mean that aunt yourself?
Duan was speechless for an instant, and then raised his hand to hit Gu Banqin's ass, Gu Banqin naturally would not stand and be beaten, relying on his flexibility to dodge everywhere.
After the two of them had a fight, Duan was tired, sat on the carved stool to rest, and kept muttering: "I think you are more like your master, so the future ......."
What the Duan clan said later, Gu Banqin didn't hear clearly.
But hearing the previous words, it was enough for Gu Banqin to roll her eyes: her appearance was given by God, and she couldn't help it......
"You are diligent in your hands and feet, and you can clean it quickly, and after a while, it will be the day of the big girl's great joy, and the courtyard will be cleaned up and down, and there will be no dust in it."
Duan stood in the yard, holding a pair of scissors in his hand, pruning the flowers in the yard while telling everyone to work uneasily
Gu Banqin leaned over, picked up fallen leaves for a while, maybe squatted for a long time, when he got up, his body did not stand firmly, he shook a few times, his head was a little dizzy, and he simply sat on the stone bench in the garden to rest, and he was lazy in the open.
Duan Shi caught a glimpse of someone who was lazy at a glance, thinking that it was his own person, and no matter how much he was not taken seriously, he was also a young lady of the Gu family, so he acquiesced in someone's lazy behavior, but after seeing Gu Banqin sit down, he looked in a daze, and sighed helplessly.
Just as Duan shook his head and sighed, at the gate of the courtyard, two brightly dressed girls walked side by side, it was the fifth lady Gu Xiuxian and the ninth lady Gu Anxiu.
So Duan put down the scissors in his hand and greeted them with a bright smile.
"Ouch, I said how come the two ladies have time to come to me, come in and sit down."
In the face of Aunt Duan's enthusiasm, Wu Niang and Jiu Niang took it for granted, obviously getting used to it.
In the back house of the Gu family, everyone knows that Aunt Duan is closer to the other girls of the Gu family than to her own girls.
Here, Gu Banqin heard Duan's voice and came back to her senses from her daze, so she clapped her hands and stood up.
